The teachers involved in this project will be Brian Wells, Kim Harris and Roxanne Rideout and possibly Gillis Park and Lynn Baker of Discovery Collegiate, Bonavista.

The project is for grade seven students and, depending on the response from continent-wide, the number of students ranges from 27 to 82. The project will take approximately three months. It will start the first week of February and end the last week of April.

To complete this project we will link each student on the project with two students elsewhere in North America. These students will use E-mail to exchange information. Concerning school demographics, local happenings, weather and climate, local statistics and local historical, geographical and civic information. The students will collect data and statistics to make into graphs and compose articles. This will result in students getting a clearer understanding of the North American continent.

Linking North America Project will address the grade seven curriculum primarily in three areas:

Math

Language

Social Studies

It will be in line with our schools aim to become technologically aware and to use our resources to their fullest extent.
